I think this is the fourth time they've visited, and as always a delight. Old favourites (Psycho Killer, The Good The Bad and the Ugly, Life on Mars / Born Free / Fly me to the Moon / Substitute, Limehouse Blues) and some new ones I hadn't seen in performance before (A Case of You, Highway to Hell, Otis Reddings' Too Hot to Handle.) Jonty Bankes' bass playing and Peter Brookes Turner's bass voice are two of my favourite things about the ensemble and the sound engineer did them both justice. No George Hinchcliffe tonight, so no Wuthering Heights or Shaft, but Ben Rouse shone in his place with clawhammer virtuosity.
